THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
Ridgewood is still seeking qualified developers to propose viable plans to convert a small East Ridgewood Avenue lot into a “first class, two-story facility.”
The village this month re-issued a request for proposals (RFP) to solicit individuals or firms interested in constructing a retail building at Lot 12, Block 3703, commonly known in Ridgewood as the Gap parking lot. Potential developers have until May 15 to answer the village’s RFP.
A similar RFP was issued last summer, but the filing deadline expired before any developer could submit a proposal. Two separate entities had expressed interest in a potential project, though neither responded in time, village officials said.
The RFP and subsequent development project are parts of the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce’s large-scale plan to bring at least one municipal parking facility to the Central Business District. In 2012, chamber officials unveiled a plan that would result in the construction of two downtown parking garages.

Since no one on that end of East Ridgewood Ave plays ping pong with Paulie I guess he figures its okay to screw them by taking away parking spaces.
Something is not right here. We need parking at the lower end of ERA. Why are they getting rid of the parking?
